Union Revival Services—i Campaign Closes Sunday

The Union Revival Services, 11 sing Laid in the Community ; I uilding are swinging along in;’to the nridc&e of the Cjhird and last week of the campaign. the interest is deepening conviction is growing upon men :and women that Without Jesus ‘ Ghrist a living reality in their lives there is no real happiness in this World, and no hope of salvation from the power of sin here; no escape from he consequences of sin in the hereafter. Dr. Reed is preaching the Gospel of Salvation from sin, and a personal knowledge of sins forgiven. He is calling on men and women to turn away from their sinful life and accept Jesus Christ ”as their personal Savior. That the preaching is effective is being evidenced by the strong conviction ihat has came to nren and women, Nid k he many that have heeded the call of the evanrdi-t and have knelt at the rJtar of prayer and have given themselves to Jesus Christ. More than 100 decisions have been registered: n«any for the first time in al! their lives making an honest effort to be saved, ami man:?, who have been backsliders, have renewed their vows and pledged themselves to a better life. The personal work, under the direction of Mrs. Reed, atmong the women and girls, has borne fruit, and many of them, in, their special meetings, have gone forward end knelt at the altar in consecration of soul and bfe. The work among the children, led by Mr. Daugherty is effective, and many of the boj-s and girls have gone forward and asked to be enrolled among the Christian peonle of Syracuse. Bovs and girls, after having made their own decision, have gone to fathers and, mothers and have oersuaded them to go forward. In the sermon of Sunday night. Dr. Reed,. preaching from text, “Be not deceived; God is ho? •ntscked. Whatsoever a mp n -oweth, that he also reap. For he that soweth to the flesh of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.’’- showed how impossible it is for a m m to escape from his sin. When a man sins, even the devils turn witness, against him. Sin cannot be hidden—one cannot gt;t away from it. The only place to get rid of sin is at the foot of the Cross of Jesus Christ.”

Monday n ght was Sunday School nighrt and many of the classes from the co-operating Sunday Schools w’ere present in full force ( . Tues ay evening the Boy Pals were present in a body, and Mr. Daugherty explained the work of that organization to the large congregation. Mr. Daugherty, seeing the need of an organization for boj’S under the Boy Scout age, formed "hjs organization for boys from 9 to 12 ye?rs. That it has an appeaU for the bovs is showm bv their response. Close on the ,30 boys •>re already enrolled, and many more will come in later. • This coming Sunday will be the last day of the campaign. The day will be full of services—--5 different meetings being held throughout the day. The Sunday Schools will meet at their usual places of meeting at the regular hour, then march in a body to the Comm unity building for the morning worship period. The meeting for men and boys will L>e held in the Community building at 2:30. and Dr. Reed will deliver another of his masterful sermons to the crowd that will gather there. Mrs. Reed will speak to the women and girls at the Evangelical church at 2,30, and Mr. Daugherty will lead the meeting for young people at the Evangelical church at 5:45. The closing service of the campaign will be held in the Community building, besnnning at 7 o’clock, at which time Dr. Reed will bring his chasing message, and make his las*, appeal to the hearts of the men ajid women of Syracuse and vicinity. The running expenses of the campaign have all been provided for, and all the offerings of the coming Sunday will be turned over to the evangelist, as a token of appreciation for his services during the 3 weeks campaign. Syracuse and vicinity owe a debt gratityde to Dr. Reed and party which can never be paid, but a genuine appreciation of his services can he shown by a liberal contribution to the offerings ; of the coming Sunday. Incalculable benefit has come to this , community through these services. and a readv response should

Insulated Attic Wife’s New Storeroom

OLD attics haw always had a roI mautic glow about them. Here old wives are supposed to sentimentalize over time-yellowed wedding gloves and scuffed baby shoes. Here young girls on rainy days bedeck themselves In the crinolines and bod iCes of by-gone ages. And here —in fiction, at least —the long lost will is brought to light and the family fortunes revived In the nick of time. Rut as a matter of’ actual fact, most attics are places of unbelievable discomfort and disorder. For one romantic attic it is safe to say there are a hundred which serve only as catchalls for dirt and disused articles which would be better thrown away outright. Nevertheless, an attic Is the logics’ place to store necessary articles, and with a little effort it may be made into an ideal storage room. The first consideration is to keep the attic at a moderate temperature the year round. Extreme cold in winter will cause furniture to check all over; extreme heat will make things dry out at» d fa, l to pieces; damp will bring mildew and decay. Insulating the attic will avoid all these dangers and at the same time make the rooms below much more comfortable and effect a marked saving of fuel bills. Sixty per cent of all tire heat in a house, engineers aay. escapes through the roof. A large amount of this ean be conserved by proper insulation. i A materia! which both Insulates and serves as an interior finish is the cane fiber Insulating lumber, efllotex, which comes in large boards ready to be nailed directly under the rafters. Where the Joists meet the rafters is the line of greatest beat leakage and

FARM HOUSE BURNED The house on the Frank Bughong farm, two miles south of town, bui ned.to the ground on ■: xoncay nigh;. about ten o’clock. *i iie presumption is that the fire was caused by soot burning out of the chinuney, as thetfire, wben discovered, was on the roof of tile house. Gqrald Bushong lived on the home 1 farm, and was in town attending the revival meetings. He was on his way heme when h.e discovered his house w. s burning. The fire depart-' nient reached the scene, it was too late to give any help. Most of the household, belongings on the first floor w’ere saved, but all upstairs, with the house, was completely destroyed. The insurance parried will cO.ei about half of the loss. * — rO — - INSTALLED OFFICERS The Pythian Sisters lodge installed the following new officers on Friday art tei noon: Past Chief, Mrs. Ella Unrue. r.xcellent Chief, Mrs. Kit Rippty. Manager, Mrs. Clara McGarity. Junior, Mrs. Hazel Rowdabaugh. Senior, Mrs. Lulu Holloway. ■ Protector, Mrs. Ada Crow. Guard. Mrs. Catherine Klink. Mistress of Finance, Mrs. Emma Thibodeaux. Mistress of Records and Correspondence, Mrs. Nora Colwell o ——. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS The Maccabee lodge installed the following new officers on Tuesday afternoon: Camtmander, Mrs. Elma Ketring. Lieutenant Conqmander; Mrs. Elilen McPherson. PA?t Commander, Mrs. Lelia D. Greene. (Chaplain, Mrs. Fanny C. Hoy. Sargent, Mrs. Lollie Byland. Sentinel,’Mrs. Lollie DeHart. Record Keeper, Mrs. Ruth Hedges. La 5y at Arms, Miss Lillian DeHart. -o— BIRTHS AND DEATHS r I n Kosciusko county there were 27 births and 29 deaths reported for the month of November.

this therefore is first sealed by carefully fitting in a strip of the insulat ing lumber on all sides. The rafter* are next sealed, also side walls. A laydr of the insulating lumbet put on the floor will afford additional insulation, allowing even less heat to filter up from below and so effect a corresponding saving in fuel bills This will the attic somewhat cooler but unless it is to be used also as a workshop this does not matter. Where there Is no flooring already In place, the celotex Is nailed to the floor joists and covered with a wood flooring; where there is already a subflooring. the insulating lumber may be applied over it and linoleum cemented on top of that. The well-equipped storage room should have plenty of shelves and cupboards. A good supply of paper, string and marking tags should always be on hand. A working shelf, whiqh may be hinged and hooked up to tba cell ing when not in use. is a great help tn sorting things or folding clothes. With a little ingenuity, racks may be made to hold the screen and atorw windows. like the ones used for extra table leaves. This prevents their being Injured and simplifies getting out any particular one. If electric light is in the house, an extension cord may be run up to the attic. It should be long enough to reach any P»ri of the room, and hooks should be screwed tn at various places ready to hang it on. If it Is necessary to carry a lamp up to the attic, a few little shelves should be nailed up in different places where -it can be placed without danger of knocking over. © Celo tech n:cln st it uta, Chicago, 19 iS.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Review of Things by Hie Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. • Inspiration | To put all of the emphasis on fthe value of an education is a . mistake in so far as education without inspiration is valueless, j Only w hen you include inspiraJ tion as an element of education •or one of its by-products can I you rate education above all othjer advantages. There are edu- ’ cated men, well read men and intelligent men who aie of little, i value to themselves or society ; because they’ have not shat dii vine spark of inspiration which t puts education to work and with- ' out which education can not I work. Education comes to man i through reading, talking, listening and thinking. Inspiration I ccmes w’ith it through Mie right kind of reading, the right kind of conversation and the deep and profound sort of thought. In other words, some literature conveys book learning and other literature proposes only to inspire the reader, to lift him out of his work-a-day stupor. Unknown "o many, the human mind, by proper impetos, is cap- ' able of kindling the divine spark cf inspiration. There are many workmen who are stirring ,*heir creative ambitions by daily meditation on the ideals of theif .-occupation and upon the vast possibilities lying dormant in their field of la|ior. No man ever suffered by imagining his job bigger than it really was. Os such imaginings is inspiration made. Inspire," ion hitched up to education or just plain knowledge is making men. communities, nations, business enterprises and Ml the great inventive, industrial and contmercial marvels of the twentieth century. “There can be no great and lasting work without, inspiration,” wrote Emerson. Hold-Over Ice Holes The prosecuting attorney for a county along *he ’Wabash river " in Indiana, relates a writer in a popular magazine, was oring to convict a prisoner for “gigging”—spearing- fish through holes in the ice. , „ _ " ‘ r Qne of the witnesses wasr a lank, silent Hoosier (Note By Us —As a native, Hoosier we never knew many of that kind* but here’s the story 4s the magazine orinted it.) His farm lay along the river, and he himself was very fond of fishing. “Mr. SmiUh,” asked the attor- r ney, “did you see the holes tn the ice?” > , “I did.” Mr. Smith answered. j. “Did they appear to be frfesh boles?" continued the attorney. “Well, I dunno,” replied the Hoosier. “I couldn’t just, tell whether they were this year,s holes or last year’s.” The automobile has brought aboir a great many changes, including the decline of the blacksmith shop and decreased attendance in churches, but for every blacksmith shop given up, three automobile service stations and at least one garage have been o established. The greatest expansion in manufacturing in the last year is said to be in the motor industry’ and a glance down the highway on almost any Sunday afternoon supports the statement. A couple of Syracuse men can talk almost as long about the kind of tobacco they like best as a couple off women can talk about the proper age at which to bob. When put to practical .use, " brains becorfie a valuable asseti When merely carried around and never exercised, they are little better than a burden. To one man a handicap is a millstone; to another "i t is a challenge to the best that is in him. The same rule applies to communities. Keep in mind that the County Basketball Tourney wrill be held in Syracuse Jan. 28 and 29. The reformer should be patient with us. After all, the world’s wickedness keeps him in a job. < Anybody ever hear a flapper sing “Home, Sweet Home?” See you at the tournament next week.
